Biography
Gyung Jin Shin is a multimedia artist and researcher. As an artist with a background in sculpture and new media, she has incorporated a wide range of digital media into artworks in contexts including physical computing, programming, 3D printing, and performance video with a machine. In her recent projects, she has connected new technologies with the language of contemporary art to highlight philosophical and ontological issues relating to technology and provide these issues with historical and societal context. Her creative projects have been exhibited and screened at a worldwide biennale, a conference, and at media art festivals as well as in museums. She received a PhD from the City University of Hong Kong in 2022, an MFA from Columbia University in 2010, and a BFA from Seoul National University.
Research Interests
As a researcher, her overarching aim is to connect the theory and history of art with contemporary philosophical issues relating to technology from the perspective of Critical Theory. Her current research interests include postdigital discourse, new materialism, digital labor, and the author discourse emerging with the advent of new technological advances. Her latest research projects explore the distribution of authorial and creative power with respect to nonhuman agency, including the agency exercised by smart machines, in particular robots, and AI. She is also conducting practice-based research on creative robotics and generative art production.
